Morris Museum

The Morris Museum—founded in 1913 and located on 8.5 sylvan acres in Morris Township, New Jersey since the mid-1960s—draws visitors from across the region to its dynamic and acclaimed art exhibitions program and performing arts events. Its 45,000+ object collection of art and material culture from around the world joins the art of our time in displays throughout the Museum’s purpose-built spaces and within the historic Twin Oaks mansion, designed by McKim, Mead & White.

Over the last century, the Morris Museum has evolved from a single collection displayed in a curio cabinet to one of the most vibrant cultural destinations in New Jersey. Originally known as the Morristown Children’s Museum, it has made education a central part of its mission since the beginning. Today, it is proud to be the only Smithsonian affiliate in the state and home to an ever-evolving array of innovative exhibitions and events that reflect the diversity and vitality of New Jersey.
